To all when it may concern: it lg own'that-I; la'rmn EMUarHY, of Milwaukee in the county of Milwaukee ar d State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Plumbingf'lraps; and I do hereby declare the following to he a full, clear, end exact ldcscription of the inventio such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it ap ertciris to make and use the same.

' re plumbing regulationsin many municipolities require that each fixture be separately rapped; that tra s be placed directly below the fixtures t ey serve, and that they be rerouted from their-crowns the object losing to shorten the fouli surface between the rapseal and the fix ore; to insure a complete ventilation of the waste pipe, and to retract the loss of the trap seal 1) syp oncgc. In orderto confer-r11 to $1101 requirements, the practice has been to )lace the trap helow the-fixture and to exten tho wastepipe connoctionthrough the walland the rcvejnt Ipi .c has also been 'carrie, through the W111 a ove the waste pi e and connected to the trep' at the crown. his is qbiectionable, first, because the trap, as we 1 .5 3- greet cal of p'pinp, is exposed to view, presenting an unsigl'il appearance,

ii teri'erin with the 'roper c caning of the fiber anf wall h ow the fixture, and secondly, the s'oallof the trap cannot be brought sufiicieotly close to the outlet of the fixture, and that portion'of the pipe above t} c trap seal becomes foul and ivcs off an densiv odor, which. escapes. t trough the fixnre into the room," fl

forth and claims.

In the accompanying drawingsi Figure-i modification.

Beferrin to thcdrawings, 1 designates the outletbem of the trap, which is connected to the lower end of a lateral elbow of a charmbered fitting 2 by a swiveled or screw threaded joint 3', permitting the-trap to be used for right'and left hand connections. I have shown iittirig 2 as in the form of a T, but an suitable arrangement,provided it has a c ramhcr and a lateral clbpw, may be employed. The fitting 2 is designed to be connected at its top or up )cr end, on the sewer-connection side of tie device as a whole, to a brancl'i rcvcnt pipe 4 and at its lower end to t branch waste show'nin Fig. 2, the trap is so r a right hand connection, while it is shown in Fig; 3- as set for left hand connection. The horiiaontal arm of the outlet bond 1 is designed o wit in which it is located.

6 designates the well of the trap, which consists of a pipc'slidably fitted at one end to the free chd of the outlet bond 1, to which it may be secured by any suitable means, as by a. not 7. To this other end of this pipe is socured the inlet or receiving bond 8, which is connected by means of a 1 c 10 to the outlet of the fixture, such pi e eing adjustably scoured to the inlet bend by nut 12. After the fitting 2 has been connected to the waste and rcvcr t pipes, both of which are located in the wall or partition, and after the latter has horizontal arm ol' the out et bend exposed,

dceirerh any portion of the fittiiii tlrmy be'lcft ex oscd, ear n rcmodolmg worlr' t is often showing reject through the wall or partition particularly pointed out in the tpi go 5. As

been finished, leaving'onl the end of "the the fixture my bcinstallcd: Oi' course, if

(ii cultto conceal the trap'fbu t its simplicity and compactness makes the worl: more at- 'tractive than otherwise. flhe optlct band may be turned on the swivel east at a ry angle relat ve to the well ail al'ter the letter has been ,linished. The well I pipe 6 me. be moved longitudinal] relative to the out at bend, so that the inlet bend may be readily brought directly below the outlet of the fixture to he drained, no matter in what position it may he, and the pipe luaylm r adjusted vertieally in iu-eordrnn-e with the height of the outlet bend from the floor The inlet bend in of such do )tli as to permit the fixture to be complete y and thoroughly drained, sealing water always remaining in the well and inlet and outlet bends.

As-it but rarely happens that the outlet of a fixture can be placed exactly opposite the openings in the wall intended to receive its discharge, and as the distance of the. outlet from the wall and the height above the Hour l varies very nineh in dillerent lixiureu, the deeeribed simple and eorwenient hurizonlali and vertical adjustments result in a great! snvin r of material and labor.

Orr inarily a single waste and revenl pipe runner-ting, littin; may he employed for each fixture, but one fitting; mu ho ronnnon to two fixtures, being provided with two lateral elbows and two mlllet heads, its showrrut 1 In fact, there only he even more than two elbows extended from a single titling, if it he desired to eonneet up a greater number ul' iixtures. When this is done. it is nnrnil'esl. that the draining of one lrnp will no! in any way atl'eot the seal of I he rennilnhrg trap or tra in. Economy is involved in that while eaeh hxturc has its own trap, there is n eomlnnn waste and revent pipe eonneel ion.

In practice, the waste and rovent pipe eonneeting litting, together with its lateral elbow, is designed to he located within a wall or partition, prel'erably the free end of the horizontal portion of the outlet bend heiu alone projected through the wall. The wel ol' the trap, which is winner-ted to the projecting end of the bond, is: rlon'ated, and within eertain limits the extent o its n'ojeetion lwyund the outlet bend may he an justed by its :.-aliding eonneetiun themwith aroording t9 the distance at \rhioh' tho lixture is located lrinn the wall. Pipes oi. dill'errnt. lengthsmay be substituted when necessary. It has ln'l'etul'me been neeessury to have the pipes forming the connectionswith the waste and the round. pipes both of u length'to eorr'exliullll to the distance the trap lllll- V heset, but lay my invention on re the 00rdof one ol thua pipes. l nd have but the single pipe exposed to VltW. i
